The Funky Buddha Brewery brewed a special batch of Turtle Power beer and donated all the proceeds of its sales to the family of John Edwards, 2, of Coral Springs, who nearly drowned in his family’s pool in May.

The Funky Buddha Brewery makes beer, but it also makes good on promises.

The Boca Raton-based brewery created a one-off batch of beer, Turtle Power, and donated the proceeds of its sales to the family of a 2-year-old Coral Springs boy who nearly drowned in his family swimming pool in May.

The boy, James Edwards, is a fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, so the brewery wanted to honor him by making a beer that would taste like a chocolate turtle candy: an English milk porter brewed with chocolate, caramel and pecans. They hosted an event July 20 at their brewery and sold nearly all of the special brew — more than eight half barrels of beer — to raise more than $7,000, said John Linn, the brewery’s brand director.

The waiters at the Funky Buddha Lounge also donated their tips for the day.

“Everything we sold will go to them,” Linn said. “We wanted to do what we could to help the family with their expenses.”

The brewery owners, who grew up in Coral Springs, heard about the family’s struggles from close friend and fellow home beer brewer Brandon Fields, the Dolphins punter who had visited Edwards with other Dolphins players early last month.

“Maybe it is because many of us at the brewery grew up in Coral Springs, or because our staff is currently going through baby fever with new kids popping out daily. Or maybe it’s because this awesome kid loves the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (who doesn’t?),” the brewery wrote in a release. “Either way, it hit home, and we are trying to help the best way we know how: with beer.”
